REFLECTIONS 1 : KINETIC CITY [RAHUL MEHROTRA]
THE MEMORY OF THE CITY AS AN ENACTED PROCESS [A TEMPORAL MOMENT]
[ESSAY KINETIC CITY – RAHUL MEHROTRA]
It is interesting to realize the nature of the hybrid city, how everyone constantly tries to claim one’s rightness or image in a city space. The Ganesh festival when the entire city becomes a backdrop [the static imagery], during the procession of the idol is fascinating. It marks the notion of a cyclic time in the city. Mehrotra addresses the duality of the permanent entity and the temporary/momentary entity and how both play with one’s memory, a new viewpoint to a city space.
